<p>PDFBox is free software, if have found it useful or has saved you money over a commercial alternative then consider making a donation to the project.
  	    Donations help keep the project active and support development of new features.<br>
<br>
  	    
  	    There are many ways that you can donate to the PDFBox project, below are some suggested ways:

  	                help implement new features in PDFBox.  This will also allow PDFBox be listed as a partner
  	                on Adobe's site which will increase the user community of PDFBox.
  	                Please contact <a href="mailto:ben@benlitchfield.com">Ben</a> to make arrangements.<br>

  	                and then compare the results with what PDFBox produced.  The 7.0 product suite contains lots of useful features 
  	                that would be nice to be able to verify against PDFBox.  Amazon currently lists this as $409, but may be cheaper else where.
